Sorry Woodsheal! I'm the guy who won this...

Artificer, I'll be contacting you about making some extra bags for this one...

Yeah, I think the days of seeing these go for less than $200 are over. Unless one just happens to sneak through under the radar, there's enough interest in them to keep the selling price up. And I expect they'll go for even more than this as time goes by and they get harder and harder to find.

celt72, welcome to the MoD cantle club!

Congrats and welcome to the club. That is still cheaper than I paid for my first one.

First one $300

Second one $150

Third one $140

I think I did ok as a whole. LOL

My MKI had a buy it now and I jumped at the $140 price.

Congrats! It's a beauty. If I wasn't broke from paying two fall tuition bills, I'd have given more of a run for your money! I really want one of these - or a similar repro - for my 1745 kit....

Scott and Harold
Just a thought but is it the fact that you do wonderful work that may be the reason that the price for these is going up, ie people are buying them because you turn them into a work of art. I know where I would be sending mine if I was ever lucky enough to get one.

Thanks for the compliment. I do think it is because of they are so hard to come by these days though.

Thanks for the welcome to the club gentleman! I didn't actually expect to win this one. The last two I saw on ebay went for over $300. I put in my last bid an hour before the end of the auction and went to work. When I got home last night I was competely surprised to see that I won it. I will definitely wear the fawn colored bag that it came with. After saving some money, I'll have Artificer make a black bag for it.
